Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab): real Chrome visitors over rolling 28-day periods.
One score from every part of this review. How it works
Speed
Render-blocking requests
3.6 s23 files block the first paint until they finish downloading. Deferring or inlining them could save about 3.6 s.
Improve image delivery
450 ms · 985 KiB17 images could be 985 KiB smaller with modern formats (WebP or AVIF) and sizes that fit a phone screen. Google estimates it would make the page about 450 ms faster on a phone.
Mobile performance score: 65
65/100Your mobile performance score is 65 (desktop: 89). Pages that score under 90 lose visitors before the first paint.
Reduce unused CSS
600 ms · 105 KiBAbout 105 KiB of CSS is downloaded but never applied on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 600 ms faster on a phone.
Reduce unused JavaScript
150 ms · 24 KiBAbout 24 KiB of JavaScript is downloaded but never used on this page. Google estimates it would make the page about 150 ms faster on a phone.
Minify CSS
150 ms · 2 KiB2 KiB could be saved by minifying CSS.
4 third-party services on the page
4 third-party services load with your homepage (Google Analytics, WordPress Site Stats and Google Fonts and others), adding 269 KiB and 24 ms of main-thread time.
Use efficient cache lifetimes
16 KiB1 file is served with short cache lifetimes, so returning visitors download them again (16 KiB).
Chained critical requests
Critical files load one after another instead of in parallel (3 chains). Preconnecting to key origins and preloading the hero image shortens the chain.

Main-thread work: 0.4 s
A phone's processor spends 0.4 s on main-thread work while loading, 138 ms of it running JavaScript. That is comfortably low.
Server response: 4 ms
4 msYour server sent the HTML in 4 ms, well inside Google's 600 ms guideline.
Core Web Vitals
Largest Contentful Paint: 8.5 s
8.5 sYour largest element takes 8.5 s to render on a phone. Google's threshold for “good” is 2.5 s. The largest element is the text “Guess what? Download the App in the App Store today. Please…”.
First Contentful Paint: 4.4 s
4.4 sThe first text or image appears after 4.4 s on a phone. Good is under 1.8 s.
Time to Interactive: 8.7 s
8.7 sThe page becomes fully interactive after 8.7 s. Good is under 3.8 s.
Speed Index: 4.4 s
4.4 sVisually, the page fills in at 4.4 s (Speed Index). Good is under 3.4 s.
8 images without width and height
8 images have no width and height attributes, so the layout jumps as each one loads.
Tap response (INP) held steady for real visitors
-3%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' tap response (inp) went from 78 ms to 74 ms at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).
Largest content (LCP) got 16% slower for real visitors
+16%Over the last 25 four-week periods to 2026-10-17, real Chrome visitors' largest content (lcp) went from 1.1 s to 1.3 s at the 75th percentile (Chrome UX Report (opens in a new tab) history).

Images and page weight
5 images in older formats
5 images (209 KiB) are JPEG, PNG or GIF. The same pictures as WebP or AVIF are usually much smaller at the same quality, and every current browser shows them.
2 images below the first screen load straight away
2 images further down the page (49 KiB) download before anyone scrolls to them. Adding loading="lazy" lets the first screen load first.
About 0.5 g of CO₂ per visit
0.51 gBy the Sustainable Web Design model, a visit to your homepage emits about 0.51 g of CO₂e: 61.5 kg a year at 10,000 visits a month. It scales with page weight, so every byte cut lowers it.
2 checks passed
Page weight: 1.8 MB in 80 requests
1.8 MBYour homepage downloads 1.8 MB in 80 requests on a phone: images 1.2 MB (29), scripts 217 KiB (33) and fonts 215 KiB (3). That is a lean page.
Images are sized for phones
No image is downloaded at more than three times the size it is drawn on a phone.
Accessibility
8 text elements with low contrast
8 text elements don't have enough contrast against the background to read easily, especially outdoors on a phone.
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes (1 element)
Elements must only use permitted ARIA attributes: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation (1 element)
Documents must have <title> element to aid in navigation: 1 element on the page fails this check, rated serious by axe-core.
All page content should be contained by landmarks (8 elements)
All page content should be contained by landmarks: 8 elements on the page fail this check, rated moderate by axe-core.
No main landmark
The page has no <main> landmark, so screen-reader users cannot jump straight to the content.
5 links without text
5 visible links have no text or label, so screen readers cannot say where they go.
2 checks passed
Every image has alt text
All 27 images in the HTML carry an alt attribute.
41 automated accessibility rules passed
axe-core 4.13.0, the open-source engine behind most accessibility testing tools, ran 47 WCAG 2.2 A/AA and best-practice rules on the phone render: 41 passed and 6 failed. 1 more need a person to judge. Automated rules catch about a third of accessibility problems; the rest need manual testing.
SEO
No page title
Your page has no <title>, so Google has to invent the blue link in search results.
No meta description
No meta description, so Google writes its own snippet from whatever text it finds.
No structured data
No structured data (JSON-LD), so Google can't show rich results such as your logo, ratings or FAQs.
2 links with vague text
2 links use generic text like “click here” or “learn more”, which tells Google nothing about the page behind them.
No X (Twitter) card tag
No twitter:card tag. X falls back to Open Graph, which is set, so this is minor.
36 internal links, 6 external
The homepage links to 36 pages on mistersoftee.com and 6 external pages.
5 checks passed
One H1 headline
Your main headline reads: “Download the App in the App Store today.”.
Canonical URL set
The canonical URL is https://mistersoftee.com/.
Open Graph tags complete
Open Graph tags are complete, so shared links show a title, description and image.
robots.txt in place
robots.txt is in place.
XML sitemap found
Your XML sitemap is reachable at https://mistersoftee.com/sitemap.xml.
AI search readiness
No Organization structured data
There is no Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD, so search engines and AI assistants have no machine-readable facts about who runs the site: its name, logo, profiles and contact details.
No llms.txt
There is no /llms.txt, a short Markdown guide to your key pages for AI tools (llmstxt.org). It is optional and few AI tools read it yet, so treat it as a cheap extra.
1 checks passed
AI answer engines may read the site
Your robots.txt lets the crawlers behind ChatGPT search, Claude and Perplexity read the site and cite it in answers.
Other pages
15 pages without a meta description
/about-us, /our-history, /franchise, /parties-catering, /our-locations and /shop and 9 others have no meta description, so Google writes the search snippet from whatever text it finds.
3 pages with very little text
/our-history, /contact and /product/mister-softee-70th-anniversary-pin have under 150 words in the HTML. Thin pages rarely rank; if the text loads with JavaScript, crawlers that don't run it see even less.
15 internal pages checked
We fetched 15 pages linked from your homepage (of 23 found) and read each the way a search engine does.
6 checks passed
Linked pages load
All 15 pages we checked loaded without an error.
Canonical URLs point to themselves
No page we checked hands its ranking to a different URL.
Titles are unique
Every page we checked has its own title.
Every page has an H1
Each page we checked has a main headline.
No linked page is hidden from search
None of the pages we checked carries a noindex tag.
Every page has a title
All 15 pages that loaded have a <title>.
Best practices
3 JavaScript errors while loading
3 errors were logged to the browser console while the page loaded, for example “Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 ()”.
2 checks passed
Tap targets are thumb-sized
27 of 28 tappable elements near the top are at least 24 px.
Mobile viewport set
The page declares a mobile viewport.
Security and trust
No HSTS header
No Strict-Transport-Security header, so browsers may still try plain http first on a return visit.
No Content-Security-Policy
No Content-Security-Policy header, the main browser-side defence against injected scripts.
No clickjacking protection
Neither X-Frame-Options nor a CSP frame-ancestors policy is set, so any site can embed yours in a frame.
No X-Content-Type-Options
X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff is missing, so browsers may guess file types.
No Referrer-Policy
No Referrer-Policy header, so full URLs can leak to the sites you link to.
No Permissions-Policy
No Permissions-Policy header to switch off camera, microphone and location for embedded content.
No security.txt
There is no /.well-known/security.txt telling researchers how to report a security problem to you.
5 checks passed
Served over HTTPS
The homepage is served over HTTPS (mistersoftee.com).
Valid certificate (47 days left)
The certificate from Let's Encrypt · YR2 verifies for mistersoftee.com and is valid for another 47 days.
http:// redirects to https
http://mistersoftee.com redirects to the secure version.
HTTP/2
The server speaks HTTP/2, so browsers load many files over one connection.
All 30 links work
All 30 links checked from your homepage (24 internal, 6 external) answered without errors.
Domain and trust
Domain expires in 32 days
mistersoftee.com is registered until Nov 2026. Make sure auto-renew is on and the card on file is current.
No CAA record
mistersoftee.com has no CAA record, so any certificate authority may issue a certificate for it. A CAA record naming your provider (for example letsencrypt.org) closes that door.
DNSSEC is off
mistersoftee.com's DNS answers are not signed. DNSSEC stops attackers forging them to send visitors or email elsewhere; most registrars switch it on in a click, though most sites still run without it.
1 checks passed
Domain is 28 years old
28 yearsmistersoftee.com was registered in Nov 1997 through GoDaddy.com, LLC. An established domain carries more trust with email providers and search engines.
Content and conversion
No social proof
No testimonials, customer logos, ratings or customer counts on the homepage: nothing tells a new visitor that others already trust you.
Local business without LocalBusiness data
Your homepage shows a street address but no LocalBusiness JSON-LD, so Google and AI assistants have to guess your address, hours and phone from the page text.
No phone number on the homepage
A local customer looking to call finds no phone number on the homepage. Add one, ideally as a tap-to-call link.
Only about 87 words
The homepage has only about 87 words of visible text; thin pages give Google and first-time buyers little to go on.
No opening hours
The homepage shows no opening hours. If customers visit or call, show when.
No map or directions link
There is no link to Google or Apple Maps. A directions link is one tap for a phone visitor.
No risk reducer
No guarantee or risk reducer (money-back, free trial, no credit card) is mentioned, which is often what tips a hesitant visitor.
5 checks passed
Clear next step on the first screen
On a phone, the first screen shows a clear next step: “Subscribe”.
6 calls to action
The homepage has 6 calls to action, for example “Contact Us”, “Subscribe” and “Shop Now”.
1 short form
A short form (1 field at most) is right on the homepage, asking for an email.
Analytics in place
Analytics detected: Google Analytics.
Direct contact links
Visitors can reach you directly: 0 phone links and 1 email link.
Email authentication
DMARC is monitor-only (p=none)
DMARC is set to p=none, so mail pretending to be mistersoftee.com is still delivered. Reports are on, so moving to quarantine is the next step.
Email authentication score: 70/100
Email authentication: SPF record 25 points, plus 15 when it ends in -all (10 for ~all); DMARC record 25, plus 25 for a reject policy (15 for quarantine); a DKIM key on a common selector 10.
2 checks passed
SPF in place (~all)
An SPF record lists your sending servers and marks other mail as suspicious (~all): “v=spf1 mx include:spf.protection.outlook.com include:sendgrid.net ip4:199.244.76.0/24 ip4:207.126.101.0/24 ip4:198.21.0…”.
DKIM signing found
A DKIM key is published (selector “selector1”, “s1” and “s2”), so receivers can verify mail really came from you.
Privacy and tracking
1 tracker load before any consent
1Before a visitor clicks anything, the page loads Google Analytics (measured from a US location before any click). No consent tool was detected. Visitors from the EU, UK and several US states must be asked first.
14 cookies set on arrival
14Opening the homepage sets 14 cookies (measured from a US location before any click).
No consent tool detected
No known cookie consent tool loads with the page. Some sites build their own banner, and some only show one to visitors from the EU.
6 other companies contacted
Loading the homepage contacts 6 hosts run by other companies (fonts, scripts, analytics, ads), each of which sees the visitor's IP address.
